Git v2.4.4 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.4.3
------------------

 * l10n updates for German.

 * An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.

 * "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
   paths outside the given pathspec.

 * Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
   lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
   Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
   request first into core (to a reasonable limit).

 * The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
   empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
   It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
   an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
   things, then why not?

 * Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
   safely say "git stash drop --help".

 * Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
   concepts.

 * Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
   ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
clean-ups.
